Crispy golden pork wontons made in the air fryer — no hot oil, no splatter. Ready in about 30 minutes with a savory ginger-garlic filling and your choice of dipping sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the filling:
  • 1/2 lb ground pork
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 tsp oyster sauce
  • 1/4 tsp white pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • For wrapping:
  • 24–30 square wonton wrappers
  • Small bowl of water (for sealing)
  • Olive oil or vegetable oil spray
  • For dipping:
  • Soy sauce
  • 1 tsp chili oil or sriracha
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • Sweet chili sauce

Instructions

  1. Mix all filling ingredients together in a bowl until well combined. To check seasoning, microwave a small amount for 30 seconds, taste, and adjust salt or soy sauce as needed.
  2. Lay a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center — do not overfill.
  3. Dip your finger in water and run it along two adjacent edges of the wrapper. Fold into a triangle, pressing firmly from the center outward to remove air pockets and seal the edges.
  4. For the classic nurse cap shape, fold the two bottom corners of the triangle together and pinch to seal. Cover finished wontons with a damp paper towel while you complete the batch.
  5. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F for 3 minutes. Spray the basket with oil. Arrange wontons in a single layer with space between each one.
  6. Spray the tops generously with oil spray. Air fry at 375°F for 10 minutes, flipping once at the 5-minute mark and spraying the other side with oil.
  7. Wontons are done when uniformly golden and crispy. Let cool on the basket for 1–2 minutes before serving. Work in batches to avoid crowding.

Notes

Oil spray is essential. Spray both sides generously — without it, wrappers turn papery instead of crispy.

Don’t overfill. One teaspoon of filling is the right amount; more makes it impossible to seal edges properly.

Press out air bubbles when sealing — air pockets expand during cooking and can burst the wrappers.

Serve immediately. Wontons lose their crunch within 10–15 minutes, so cook right before serving.

Frozen wontons: Air fry directly from frozen at 375°F for 14 minutes, flipping halfway — no thawing needed.
